Not really, as Zcoins cannot be traded, therefore you'd have to do all the work for it yourself. And as long as the zcoin requirement is quite high, I see no problem. onis are worth roughly 900e currently as far as I know, so if you could purchase one for 150 zkeys that would be fair. 150 / 5 = 50 x 30 = 900 ecto. (as most large bags are selling for ~30e right now, so 5 coins = 30 ecto.)
either way, anet would be able to set it to whatever they want... anything at least 100zcoins for the low-end minis (grawl, oni, yeti, naga) seems fair to me... you'd have to do the work yourself.
It's the only way to really make those minis "truly" fair to the community as a whole. Such as kanaxai, there are so few of them that they're practically impossible to obtain. if you could get one for say, 1000 zcoins... well that'd take forever to obtain as well, but you COULD get it. (I mean, that's 7,143 70 copper coin quests to get enough gold coins for a kanaxai if it were 1000 gold coins. that'd be 19 quests a day for a whole year.. You can't say that would "omfgbbq ruin minis prices" As long as you weigh the cost of zcoins properly (not to say 1000 is proper, but if you don't PvP, IF both quests average to 140 copper coins (often they're less than that) If it were less, you'd need more characters or take more time... the only real way you could get it in any reasonable amount of time would be PvP.
